Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9405576A1] A transport mechanism for transporting flat documents (5) placed therein on edge uses a horizontal conveyor belt (1) to convey stacks of documents on-edge in a first feeding direction. Tapered rollers (9) with a feeding direction perpendicular to that of the conveyor belt (1) are provided at the end of the conveyor for feeding the documents (5) in a direction perpendicular to the first feeding direction. The use of tapered rollers (9) allows a gradual, rather than sudden, perpendicular velocity to be imparted to the documents (5), thereby relieving strain on the roller drive mechanism, the rollers (9) themselves, and the documents (5) at high machine throughput speeds. The use of tapered rollers (9) also provides a shingled output of documents to a feeder (17), which allows a stripping station down-line from the feeder (17) to strip the documents (5) with fewer misfeeds and less strain.
